Material Insights

The polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-based microfluidic chips segment dominated the global microfluidics market in terms of revenue at 34.5% in the year 2022 and is anticipated to register the fastest growth rate over the analysis period. PDMS is a prominently used polymer in fast prototyping microfluidic devices. These are highly used by the academic community owing to their ease of fabrication along with their low cost. On the other hand, these polymers are hydrophobic which makes microchannels hard to operate in aqueous solutions. To combat this issue, new PDMS surface modifications are offered to address challenges due to hydrophobicity.

Microfluidics Market Share, By Material, 2020 (%)

Besides this, polymer-based microfluidic devices proved as a better alternative to the glass and silicon-based microfluidic devices. Polymer-based materials are more affordable, robust, easy to access, and require rapid fabrication techniques as compared to silicon and glass materials. Polymers are one of the most important materials used in microfluidic chips for mass production by applying soft lithography, casting, injection molding, and hot embossing techniques.

Technology Insights

On the basis of revenue,the medical technology segment led the global microfluidics market with an 83% revenue share in the year 2022. This is mainly attributed to the three major benefits offered by the microfluidics for the POC diagnostics that include smaller sample volumes, faster turnaround times, and lesser test costs. These benefits are moderately being utilized for the development of POC devices for detection and diagnosis of a wide range of conditions from cancer to infectious diseases.

Microfluidics Market Share, By Technology, 2020 (%)

For example, the Laboratory of Integrated Bio-Medical/Nanotechnology & Applications (LIBNA) fabricated a microfluidic point-of-care sepsis chip that calculates CD64 expression on neutrophils as well as the overall WBC count in around 30 minutes, by just using 10 microliters of a blood sample. 

Application Insights
